What the data says.reading this examiner

Omer Khalid maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 spanning one art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 69%. This figure represents the share of applications in the decided pool (allowed and abandoned applications combined) and excludes pending matters. The allowance rate is computed from the examiner's pooled record across all art units and reflects historical disposition data only.

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates the examiner's performance across all assigned art units within TC 2400. The pooled allowance rate describes past outcomes across decided applications and is not predictive of any individual application's outcome. Aggregate statistics reflect historical patterns but do not forecast examination of specific claims, amendments, or arguments in any pending matter.

These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →

Questions about Examiner Omer Khalid

  • What is Omer Khalid's overall allowance rate?
    The examiner's allowance rate is 69% across hundreds of decided applications pooled across all art units in TC 2400. This represents the share of allowed applications within the decided pool and does not predict outcomes in any specific case.
  • How many art units does this record cover?
    This pooled profile covers one art unit. The figures shown aggregate the examiner's entire record within that unit and are not broken down by individual art-unit performance.
  • What does the allowance rate include and exclude?
    The allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only (allowed and abandoned combined) and excludes pending applications. It is a historical statistic and is not a prediction of any future application's disposition.
  • Does this record apply to my specific application?
    No. Aggregate historical statistics do not predict the outcome of any individual application. Each application is examined on its own merits under the applicable statute and case law.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Omer Khalid has a public record within Technology Center 2400. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated July 22, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 576 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
